Types of Fire Extinguishers

Water type Extinguisher A ring or pin on the handle stops the fire extinguisher from being

set off by accident. It also acts as a tamper-proof seal: if the ring is broken or missing, you know the extinguisher needs to be checked.

Inside the sturdy steel case, there's a canister containing high-pressure gas (orange with blue hashing).

Most of the extinguisher is filled with water (blue). A tube runs right up the inside of the tube to a nozzle outside

(gray). The nozzle often ends in a piece of bendy plastic so you can easily

direct it toward the base of a fire. To operate the extinguisher, you pull the ring and press the handle. Pressing the handle opens a valve (shown here as a green arrow)

that releases the pressurized gas from the canister. The gas immediately expands and fills the inside of the

extinguisher, pushing the water downward As the water is pushed down, it rises up the tube A jet of water emerges from the nozzle.

Powder type ( DCP ) Extinguisher

Powder type ( DCP ) Extinguisher Product Name: DCP Type Fire Extinguisher

Description:  Dry Chemical Powder type fire extinguisher complete with Gun Metal cap, hose with squeeze grip nozzle, wall fixing brackets conforming to BIS: 2171 and with ISI mark. This type of fire extinguishers are suitable for B & C class of fire like oil, petrol and petroleum product, solvent, paints, varnishes, chemical liquids, all flammable liquids & electrical fire & gas fire, etc.

Capacity available: 1kg / 2kg / 5kg / 10kg / 25kg / 50kg / 75kg.

Foam Extinguisher

Foam Extinguisher

Foam concentrate is contained in solution in the extinguisher body. When expelled, the foam is aerated by means of a small foam-making branch at the end of the extinguisher hose.

The foam is expelled by a gas cartridge or stored pressure. Advantages: These are similar to water-type extinguisher i. Coats surface and exclude oxygen ii. Heat resisting qualities acts as insulator, preventing re-ignition iii. Not affected by draughts iv. Floats on liquids Disadvantages: i. Some fires require alcohol resistant foam ii. Some foam reacts with dry chemical and are broken down iii. Chemical and mechanical foam have harmful effects on each other (do not

use together) When using foam, it should not be allowed to strike the surface of the burning material directly, but should be allowed to strike a vertical wall or side of the container so that it may run down and form a blanket which will spread over the liquid.

CO2 Extinguisher

CO2 Extinguisher These consist basically of a pressure cylinder with a valve for releasing the gas and a discharge horn. The

gas is maintained in liquid form at a pressure of 50 bars (750 psi). The discharge horn allows the gas to expand at a ratio of 450:1 and when it is directed into the fire, prevents

air from being pulled along entrainment by reducing the velocity of gas. The average discharge time is 16 – 30 seconds. Points to note: ¾ The gas makes considerable noise, this

however indicates that the extinguisher is working. ¾ CO2 forms a dense vapor that may impair visibility in a confined space.

¾ CO2 has not cooling effect so there is risk of re-ignition. ¾ If the orifice at the sealing disc freezes, preventing discharge of the gas, it may be cleared in most models by closing and opening the control valve.

Advantages: i. Rapid in action, independent of atmospheric temperature. Ii. It is an inert gas which quickly disperses, leaving no trace. iii. It is a non-conductor of electricity. iv. Can be used in the incipient (first) stage of highly flammable liquid fires. v. Penetrates inaccessible places

Disadvantages: i. The total weight in relation to the contents is considerable ii. There is no visible way to check the contents

Usage of Extinguishers

Safety GadgetsCCTV Cameras : For surveillance of movement/footages of incidents and accidents

SMOKE DETECTOR : Is used to detect the smoke and alarm goes on

FIRE ALARM PANEL BOARD :To monitor breakup of fire and know the

exact location of fire

Safety Gadgets

Safety GadgetsFIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM :To control major fire in coordination with the Engineering department.

Fire sprinkler systemA fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of

water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, A glass bulb type sprinkler head will spray water into the room if sufficient heat reaches the bulb and causes it to shatter. Sprinkler heads operate individually. Note the red liquid alcohol in the glass bulb.
